You’ve seen this area on just about every movie that has ever been shot on South Beach. Call me crazy but I love running this route on long weekends. The weaving in and out of the tour groups and the occasional “Run Forrest Run” shouts from those sitting along the limestone beach wall just inspires that smile that propels you through a good, long run. I like to pick up this route off of 5th street and head north. This is one of Miami Beach’s largest concentrations of Coconut Palms set as a tropical curtain of sorts for the Art Deco buildings along world-famous Ocean Drive. If you take this path north you can run almost all the way to Mid-beach up near the Blue & Green Diamond Buildings at which time you can either jump on the soft sand or make a left and head for the red sidewalk of Millionaire Row along Collins Avenue. Here’s a fun fact, Lummus Park is part of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is named after the Lummus brothers, one of the original developers of Miami Beach.
